history
We have been building progress since 1973
We started out in Hoornaar, South Holland, in 1973. With courage, a drive for innovation and a keen business sense, we grew from a village bakery into a major player in the Netherlands.
That entrepreneurial spirit is still in our DNA: we don’t rest on our laurels, but strive to improve every day. We continue to develop, continue to invest and continue to prioritise partnership. Because success is built together.
"You learn something new here every day. You work with the latest machinery, but craftsmanship is always key. I feel proud when I see our bread on the shelves."
"I’m the final link in the chain, but I don’t feel like a minor player. If the bread arrives at the supermarket on time and in perfect condition, that’s down to all of us working together."
"At De Paauw, you’re not just thrown in at the deep end. You’re given the space to learn, but also the responsibility to really make a difference. That’s what gives you energy."
"You work with machines here that you won’t find anywhere else. It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but you’ll soon get the hang of it. And when the line is running smoothly, it just feels great."
"The pace is fast, but you’re never on your own. We help each other out, and you can see that every day. I started here as a part-time job and have been working here for three years now."
Working at the highest level. Every day. Working at the highest level. Every day. Working at the highest level. Every day.
